Tag Archives: wordpress themes

As you can probably tell by my new site design I have another new WordPress theme. It’s called Bwd 3 and is a basically two things:

A minimalist theme with a robust options page that includes allowing you to participate in CSS Naked Day, have an intro message on the home page, have a custom home page, and/or have a social networking area in the right sidebar. It additionally includes a footer that will check your first published post date and build a copyright off it ([first post date year]-[current year]). Finally, it includes 4 sidebar widget areas – blog (tags, posts, categories, etc), custom home page, page, and 404.

A theme template which comes prepackaged with all of #1 and good (I hope) commenting in the theme as well as a CSS template with comments (mainly via selectors – my challenge to myself was to use the least amount of classes/IDs as possible).

Just a quick post. I finally got around to submitting two of my themes in the official Theme directory. They were accepted after some minor corrections. You can find them here.

I just happened to check the stats today and between the two I have over 1200 downloads. While not impressive considering some of the other themes on the site, I’m pretty happy with that. It will be interested to see if it starts to be actually used on sites and gives me some linkbacks.

Next: I have to make homepages for the themes. I’d also like to do some updates to them and craft a third. Hopefully all before the end of the year.
